Identity Politics

The National Association of Hispanic Journalists President Hugo Balta returned $17,000 to Fox News because he claims Fox Radio host Todd Starnes and others who he says have repeatedly used racist language toward “immigrants.” This reaction is more political posturing by a group of liberal/leftist open-borders supporters who pretend to be objective journalists.

Fox News was supposed to be one of the sponsors the conference held in San Antonio, but Balta calls Starnes’ comment “incendiary,” and therefore offensive to NAHJ. Apparently, NAHJ leaders view any honest discussion about illegal immigration as “racist.”

NAHJ is led by leftist radicals who promote political opinion as news. They're "professional racists" who see themselves as “Hispanics First” and expect special treatment as “entitled victims” because of their ethnicity, national origin, and gender.

Because I am a conservative American of Mexican descent, liberals and leftists often accuse me of not understanding racism. However, I have seen the evolution of people's efforts for justice and equality, turn into a political strategy of keeping people frightened, dumb, and poor.

One of the big lies liberals and leftists tell is that only whites are racists. Wrong! Every human being can behave in a racist manner, even blacks, and other minorities. However, the “race card” cannot be used to avoid legitimate issues and questions.

Just like liberals and leftists say “no human being is illegal,” they love to claim that only whites are racists. However, racism is a human problem like all other social problems, and everyone on earth is capable of discriminating based on race, ethnicity, gender, or religion.

Sacramento police struggled to get cooperation from bystanders who taunted them last Wednesday, June 19, while cordoning off the scene of a shootout that led to the death of an officer. Violence, disrespect, and distrust toward law enforcement officers, whether state and local police or Border Patrol, has worsened in the last ten years.

Police-community relations have suffered ever since former President Obama and his administration welcomed the cop-hating Black Lives Matter to the White House, and justified the riots and violence against police officers in various cities. As of Monday, June 24, 2019, twenty-five police officers have been shot and killed in the line of duty since January 1, 2019.

Officer Tara O’Sullivan of the Sacramento PD was shot and killed while responding to a domestic violence call. One day later, Corporal Jose Espericueta of the Mission TX PD was shot and killed as he and other officers attempted to apprehend a subject who had threatened family members. Two days later, Police Officer Michael Langsdorf of the North County Police Dept. in Missouri was shot and killed after responding to a call involving a man attempting to cash a fraudulent check.
